Pet Health by Dr. Fran Good, DVM: Monthly Flea Death Products - The Saga of Monthly Flea Death continues. After the innovation of Program©, the once a month pill that short-circuited the reproductive wiring of the household flea, the veterinary community was reeling. We'd all wished for something like that to simplify the dreaded Flea Talk we all had to give to our clients, fifteen times a day. The one I'm giving you now.
